Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robots and sensors are increasingly used in different underwater applications, such as industrial production and inspection, biological research and documentation, climate and weather observation, documentation and monitoring of coastal areas and archaeological sites, shipwreck exploration and documentation, and even the salvage of weapons.
Whereas robots undertake diver’s tasks, facilitate assembling processes, and decrease the risk of humans, sensors help to better understand the underwater environment.
Sensors for underwater use may have very different active principles, sizes, and application purposes. In this Special Issue we welcome both original research papers and review articles on diverse topics concerning underwater robotics and sensor application:
- Optical and acoustical sensors;
- Biological and chemical sensors;
- Multimodal sensors;
- Sensor applications;
- Robots for underwater application.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
